While highly productive and diverse, our economy is also quite volatile, creating significant strains on housing and infrastructure, especially during economic booms. This Horizon Perspective Paper, entitled The Future of Jobs, explores how emerging economic changes, ranging from automation and organizational adjustments to new locational dynamics, might affect the region’s economy in coming decades. The Future of Jobs Perspective Paper is intended to: • Review key trends affecting the regional labor market and job prospects of Bay Area residents, including automation of jobs, the emergence of the “gig economy,” and an aging labor force. • Consider impacts on jobs, wages, location dynamics and job sorting within the region. • Identify strategies on the state, regional and local levels to address planning and economic development challenges associated with a changing regional economy. • Continue the conversation related to the emerging economic development role of the regional agencies following the adoption of the Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy. Intended as a report to inform the wider regional planning effort called Horizon being undertaken by the the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), this Perspective Paper explores four interrelated facets of change related to the future of jobs: technological changes, organizational changes, compensational changes and locational changes.
